Complexion makeup: from skincare to beauty enhancement with Sothys.

At Sothys, skincare is at the heart of our expertise, and makeup is the final touch. Complexion makeup is therefore a natural extension of a complete facial ritual, from skin preparation to the final touches of color and light.

It all starts with a suitable skincare routine. After cleansing the skin, apply your Sothys ampoule, followed by your face serumand your skincare cream, such as a Youth Cream. In the morning, the ritual can be completed with the Youth protective fluid SPF50, which offers a dual action of care and protection.

Once the skincare routine is complete, it's time for makeup. To even out the complexion, the Sothys Smoothing complexion serumfully embodies the fusion of skincare and makeup. Its formula combines 85% skincare serum with 15% high-performance pigmentsfor an even, smoothed, and radiant complexion, with buildable coverage and a second-skin finish.
Makeup is then applied in touches, depending on the desired result. The Correcting & highlighter pencilcombines two complementary gestures: a matte tip to conceal imperfections and a pearlescent tip to illuminate certain areas of the face. Its pencil format also allows for easy touch-ups throughout the day.

To finalize the complexion, Sothys blushesallow you to enhance and structure the face while providing a healthy glow. Rose essentiel suits cool skin tones, while Brun essentiel suits warm skin tones.

From ampoule to serum, from cream to Youth protective fluid SPF50, and then from Smoothing complexion serum to corrector, blush, and highlighter, Sothys envisions the complexion as a complete ritual where makeup naturally complements skincare.

How do you choose the right shade of Smoothing Tinted Serum?

Test the shade on the jawline or lower cheek: the right shade should blend harmoniously with the skin. The choice can then be refined according to the intensity of your skin tone and its undertone.

In the salon, your Sothys beautician can also help you choose the colour and texture and advise you on application techniques.

How do I choose the foundation shade best suited to my skin?

Choosing the right foundation shade depends on two essential elements: the skin's intensity and its undertone.

Here are our tips for finding the shade that matches perfectly.

1. Identify your skin's intensity

First choose the shade that matches your skin tone: light, medium or dark.

2. Determine the undertone

The undertone lets you personalise the result:

Neutral to cool: for a natural, fresh and slightly rosy complexion.
Neutral to warm: for a natural, warmed complexion.

3. Test the shade on your skin

Apply the foundation to the jawline or lower cheek to check that it blends with the face and neck. Ideally test it in natural light.

The right shade is the one that blends perfectly into the skin, with no demarcation or mask effect.
